Europe’s Oldest Man, Nazar Singh dies on the eve of Father’s Day just two weeks after he celebrated his 111th birthday. After his 110th birthday, he reported to the media: “I feel very good and very happy. I still feel fit and strong. I pray to the lord to take me when he wants to.
He was born in Punjab in 1904 and was a resident in England for 50 years, moving in 1989 to the North East to live with one of his nine children.
He had 34 grandchildren and 63 great-grandchildren, lived through two World Wars, the Great Depression and 25 different Prime Ministers. His age was never confirmed by Guinness World Records and he had no birth certificate. But he was sent a letter by the Queen on his 100th birthday, and every subsequent birthday. He puts down his longevity to his strong family bond, good food and happiness.
The 111-year-old loved the outdoors having been born on a farm and enjoyed drinking milk and almond oil and regularly ate fruit.
